Carmelo Anthony’s Sister Dies

Carmelo Anthony is dealing with the death of his sister and has taken a leave of absence from the NBA’s Denver Nuggets.

Carmelo Anthony is dealing with tragedy during the holidays as his sister Michelle Anthony recently died. The NBA (Denver Nuggets) star has taken a leave of absence to head back home and be with his family. Of course the timing is brutal as we are just days away from Christmas and the death of a close family member is the last thing anyone would wish for.

Of course, all of this comes at a time when Carmelo Anthony is in talks of being traded. Rumors are saying that he could possibly end up with the New Jersey Nets among other NBA teams. For right now though, all trade talk is put on hold as Carmelo Anthony headed to Baltimore where sister Michelle passed away due to a preexisting condition.

The entire Denver Nuggets organization have expressed its condolences for Carmelo Anthony and his family and look forward to his return after Christmas. We also would like to send out our heartfelt prayers to both Carmelo Anthony and his family as they deal with the tragic death of Michelle Anthony.
